Every game developer certainly want their games to be played by many people in the long run. What worldly pleasures can one expect from a game creator? Creating a game is like building a timeless monument to life. However, in order to achieve this, the game developer also have to deal with challenging dilemmas.
One of the journeys they have to go through is how to attract players so that they play more often. To work around this, game developer developed many methods, such as giving daily sign-in rewardmake events daily, or even carry out the system “energy” like a game gacha.
Dilemma Game Developer #1: Daily energy model
From a series of strategies, the system energy this is something that many players consider to be a hindrance to the hobby gaming they.
This is because many players do not understand the reason behind the existence of the system. At first the system energy it was developed as a solution to limit players from being in front of the screen for too long gadgets they.
However, the mechanism energy this is getting more and more developed into a a reason to make the players come back another day so the players don’t forget games them after a day of playing it.
Dilemma Game Developer #2: Growing with the players
Besides that, developer also still trying to develop features and activities that can make games they develop together with their players.
It means, progress in the games will grow over time with the players. Simply put, you can’t catch up progress without investing time in it.
Of course the players games like Clash of Clans are very familiar with this model and many of the readers may be veterans of games like this. It can’t be denied that games like this is one type games which is quite satisfying for his loyal players.
The players can say, “this is what I managed to build after all this time growing and developing together with other players so that it can become as big as it is now. Not a short story but satisfying.”
Like someone who has been successful in developing his business to be big. Inner satisfaction.
Dilemma Game Developer #3: Keeping up with the latest technological developments
In fact this is one of the things that makes the industry games recently experienced rapid development. Technology that is growing rapidly requires that developer to be more creative in developing games-his.
One of the technologies that has recently been widely discussed in games is Ray Tracing. With this technology, games can get enhancement in terms of graphics. One of games who got the chance spotlight in this technology is Minecraft.
The following video is a snippet of Minecraft that has used Ray Tracing.
Apart from Minecraft, games others who have also succeeded inupgrade games them by using the latest technology is Half Life Alyx who now rely on technology Virtual Reality (VR).
Half Life succeeded in opening a new breakthrough in the genre first person shooter (FPS) and develop a platform that has been dominated by mouse and keyboard for a world that has not been touched much in it.
Well, after seeing the adaptation of significant technological developments, isn’t this a good news for the industry games? The answer is yes and no. Full of dilemmas!
There are many challenges in applying this new technology to the games being developed. Often the implementation is the source of problems from happening crash or error.
Not to mention not all developer want to games they embrace the new technology. Also not all developer have access and adequate facilities to be able to conduct research and development on the technology.
A number of developer only want games they become what they want to be and to be recognized by large audiences.
Dilemma Game Developer #4: Feature vs Originality
This was another dilemma that created divisions among the fans they. Why so?
Because among the players gamesmany want games their favorite to get upgrade when there is relaunch or reboot on games them or where possible, continuation of games itself. Either in terms of graphics or gameplay as well as features and in-game items.
One such case is when Square Enix decided to relaunch games Their Final Fantasy from the past to today’s platforms, such as PC or consoles next-gen.
Of course there is fans who are happy because they can play games it returns for the umpteenth time with a more modern feel while reminiscing; and some don’t want to get the same thing a second time. “Why do we pay twice for the same content?”
Both views are not wrong because they are both taste of each person that shows the way each player thinks.
I myself would be happy if games like Suikoden series get reboot on a PC so that it can be played again without the need for upgrade or feature additions. However, this does not apply to everyone.
Square Enix that just finished reboot their greatest for Final Fantasy VII has done a lot overhaul in every aspect of the game. From graphics, gameplay, effects and there are a lot of things. They also developed this game to have a system gameplay ARPG as owned by its successor Final Fantasy XV and left the system turn-based RPG who made games it’s big.
Square Enix also changed games it starts from top-down view Becomes fully 3D-based. Overhaul This is one big news for the fans who can now enjoy it in a new way to achieve the same goal as the previous version with a different taste.
That’s it, the dilemmas of the times now which are generally taken into consideration before making a development decision.
How about you as a connoisseur games they? Have you supported their efforts? Growth games their creation clearly requires our participation as user. The simplest step can be to start by buying the original game and not using the pirated version. #Anti-Pirate.
Also, don’t defend toxic behavior which are commonly found in review a games, especially when on the Google Play Store. Do not easily give a one-star review just because of trivial things. Remember to appreciate the sweat of the developer.
Let’s keep this industry moving toward a better place! Gxg signing out!
